Figure 4

A, wound closure in spontaneous infection (blue line, control) or induced infection (red line) wounds. Data have been presented as percentage of the initial wound area. Data are mean ± SD (n=4). B, representative digital images from spontaneous infection or induced infection wounds burn wounds. C, trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) analysis from spontaneous infection and induced infection burn wounds. Inset presents the DermaLab TEWL Probe used for the measurement of the trans-epidermal water loss from the wounds. TEWL was expressed in g/m2/h. Data are mean ±SD (n=4); * p<0.05 compared to spontaneous infection.
